On February 17, during the course of hole 2, Joanne Sadowsky badly executed a blow, so the ball went to the water, where the reptile was, detailed local media.

“I threw the ball to the right and headed towards the water, it was close to the head of the crocodile, I saw it, it jumped and caught it,” said the woman, who watched her pink ball end up between the animal’s jaws.

“We have seen them with fish or turtles in their mouths, but never with a golf ball,” he added, while telling how the club is attached to the Corkscrew Swamp, for the inhabitants of the place it is common to see reptiles, they will wander by the 17 lakes that has the playing field.

As the alligator took over the ball and Sadowsky did not lose the blow and avoided a penalty, the couple failed to win the tournament.
